Lt. Col. Allen West responds to accusations and lies from Mitch Caesar, Broward County Democrat Party Chairman.

Lt. Col. Allen West (Cand. FL-22) has sent a communication to a few friends who have access to blog sites. I am honored to be considered among this small group along with Pamela Geller (Atlas Shrugs) and a few others.

Col. West’s response is first (bold text), the accusations and lies from the Chairman of the Broward County Democrat Party below that (italic font).

“George” is Mr. George Bennett of The Palm Beach Post. Mr. Bennett is an honest man – really – he leans to the left, but he’s very fair overall.

BCDP Chairman Caesar’s e-mail address and office phone number, just in case you’re of the mind to respond as well, are public information on the BCDP website (www.browarddems.com) .

Other than removing private to/from information for Lt. Col. West, Mr. Bennett and Mr. Caesar, the body of each communication is 100% what was sent to me, completely intact, no edits whatsoever.

Cheers !

Yes George, here is my response.

The history of the Democratic party is steeped in intimidation. It was the Democratic Party that started the KKK to enforce Jim Crow segregation laws. It was the Democratic party that instituted lynching and other means of violence to preclude blacks from enjoying the Constitutional rights the Republican party established in the 13-15th Amendments and the early Civil Rights Legislation during the Reconstruction Era through the 1960s.

It is the Democratic party which today promotes the intimidation tactics of ACORN, SEIU, Code Pink, Anarchist groups, and the New Black Panther Party. Mitch Ceasar is typical of liberal Democrats in seeking to create a smoking mirror when nothing exists. Caesar is a true representative of the politics of hypocrisy that infests the Democrat party.

The liberals of Broward County are evidencing their fear of the American people, and our campaign, and OUR voices will not be silenced.

If Nancy Pelosi’s puppet Congressman Ron Klein will not face his constituents, then yes, he should remain in his gated community home…..and not continue with the charade of being a Representative of the people of Congressional District 22. This is not stoking any violent fringe, it is simply stating the fact that Congressman Ron Klein is a liberal Democrat coward. And Mitch Caesar lives in a world of delusion…perhaps he should focus on the culture of corruption that is the Broward Democrat Party, not this Congressional race.

George, tell Mitch to stop playing these petulant, immature games of petty character assassination politics, another Democrat trait, trying to fight for a weak Congressman. Let Klein stand on his own, I am. And yes, the clock is ticking, because on 2 November Ron Klein will indeed be former Congressman Ron Klein.

George, feel free to print this entire response as it is going out all across the blog world.

This afternoon, the Broward County Democratic Chair blasted Republican Congressional candidate Allen West today for his continuing use of extreme rhetoric and incendiary language. West’s rhetoric is similar to recent extremist communication from conservative darling Sarah Palin, who endorsed West recently.

West called on his supporters Monday night to make his opponent, Congressman Ron Klein, “scared to come out of his house,” at an event earlier this week:

“Let me tell you what you got to do. You’ve got to make the fella scared to come out of his house,” West said. “And that’s the only way that you are going to win. That’s the only way that to get these people’s attention. You got to put pressure on them and make them understand…the clock is ticking.”

“Allen West is willfully fanning the flames,” Broward County Democratic Chair Mitch Ceasar said. “One of the great ironies is that Allen West loves to talk about freedom and one of the greatest tenets of our democracy is the ability to have divergent opinions, yet Allen West thinks it is appropriate behavior to call his opponent names and use violent language.

“It’s not surprising Allen West uses extreme rhetoric to raise his profile. These are serious times and people want a responsible leader who will work to solve problems and move our country forward. Allen West represents exactly the kind of leadership Florida’s 22nd Congressional District doesn’t deserve,” said Ceasar.

West’s irresponsible leadership is evidenced by his repeated use of threatening language in his speeches.

“How many people remember that movie The Untouchables? Remember when Sean Connery said with Kevin Costner in that movie, in that church, and he said you got to understand the Chicago way. If you understand the Chicago way, you got to understand how far are you willing to go. Because if they send one of yours to the hospital, you got to send two of theirs to the morgue,” West told his Tea Party supporters in Fort Lauderdale March 27.

A day later on his official campaign website, West attacked Congressman Klein in a blog posting.

“I plan to beat you like you stole something dear to me!” West wrote.

In addition, West has used incendiary rhetoric in public forums, saying at Fort Lauderdale club Revolution, “If you’re here to stand up-to get your musket, to fix your bayonet, to charge into the ranks-you’re my brother and sister in this fight.”

West’s mentor Sarah Palin is also no stranger to using violent references in her communications. Palin last month unveiled a national political map using rifle crosshairs to mark the members of Congress across the country who supported healthcare reform.

“West and his mentor Sarah Palin are shamefully stoking violent language and symbolism that threatens the safety of our leaders and public officials,” Ceasar said. “The hard working people of South Florida know that inciting people with extreme and violent language sometimes leads to far more violent and monstrous acts. It’s sad that Allen West and Sarah Palin lack the basic decency, common sense and responsibility to realize this.”
